I say post away, lots of people do it. As long as it is related to the forum they wouldn't have any problem with it.

Well, I have all the stuff for the speaker install finally here. Got raped on sending that sub box back to Subthump but it was nobody elses fault but mine.

 

Hoping to get on it this Sunday. Supposed to be nice out so I might as well get some wrenching done. :lol:

thanks! i made the mistake the first time of not putting the tweeters with in 8 inches of the mids. my new setup is 10x's better ;)

I stupidly, in a hurry, ordered a box for a crew cab instead of an extended cab. Pretty bummed when I went to

test fit it. :lol:

 

I really hoping that there is enough room on the top of it to mount my sub but it's not looking that way. I could have

sworn that I read somewhere that is possible. Otherwise, I have to rip my entire back seat out which sucks.

I know that there is a lot to like about the JL box but not enough to warrant it's cost, to me anyway.

 

All the speakers are going in tomorrow. Should be a fairly clean, easy install. Pictures to come.

if you think about it. its really not that much more. the sub thump is like 240? or something like that. and jl w3v3 are like 250 each. so really you'd only be spending ~50 bucks more then what you already spent

No, the Subthump box is only $115 and my current sub only cost me $100, back in '04.

Well, so much for a fairly clean/easy install. The speaker adapters don't even fit the speakers and are not even close to fitting the rear door openings (see pics). How mortified I was to spend all the time doing this only to have sub par sound and an unforgivable amount of rattles and buzzes in my doors now. I don't give up easy but if this can't be resolved soon, I'll be going back to my factory speakers asap.

Well, after a bunch of digging around this morning I don't seem to find any company that makes the correct adaptors for the rear ext cab doors at all. Looks like the factory speakers will be going back in for now, then. :jester:

No, you are not going to find a rear door adapter for the ext cab. At least I never could when I was doing my install a few months back. I eventually decided not to bother with the rear doors anyway and focus on the fronts since the rears are so muffled and out of the way because of the seats.

 

And if you want to avoid alot of rattling, I would recommend crossing over your speakers to, say, 80 - 120 hz and send the lows to your sub. Even with tons of dynamat the doors will never hold up as a real "enclosure" for decent size speakers.

 

Just my $0.02...

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
